Is Pinniacle Next?

My regional is better than yours.

All regionals suck.....some just suck more than others.

One thing is for sure,

Pinnacle will have major staffing issues this summer. The melt down is right on the verge. Management has no clue.

Just ask Phil ...... "We fixed it." It is a shame he has no idea what "it" is

I think Pinnacle management knows exactly what they're doing. This isn't new. Pinnacle has had issues in the past with staffing crews. They do what they always do. Cancel the flight, or let another carrier pick up the slack for their managements incompitance in running an effecient airline. Maybe Phil has gotten word that some of the 200's will be parked in the near future (as RA has already stated time and time again) and they don't want to hire due to the overstaffing that will create. Or they are waiting until the last possible momement to hire, to save as much money as they can meanwhile continuing to abuse all their crew members on a daily basis.

+1 to that. Yes they fixed it, so there should be no staffing issues!!

Pinnacle won't hire. The new staffing strategy is to offer premium pay (150%) for flights operated on weekends/holidays. This is been going on nonstop for over 2 months now, and will continue to.

Well, this "strategy" isn't working. Another canceled 9E flight trying to get back to DTW. Company says Mesaba has covered 80 Pinnacle flights so far during the month of May. Maybe they should up the premium pay to 200% cause the 150% ain't work'n. Truly pathetic.

Pinnacle will get the boot from DL if they don't straigten it out. I know they "fixed it" but it broke again.

by the way just to let everyone know, colgan stays at the crown plaza downtown memphis and has a bus pick them up every morning to take them to the c.e.c. and drive them back at night for their training. Why are they not making them stay at the p.o.s we stay at?
